What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Great news! I'm very familiar with that anxiety. We lived on that bubble for a lot of years while my husband finished out his first career job. He was pushed into retirement in the early stage of Covid and finally pursued another position when he just could not stand retirement life yet -- and we still had youngest DD in college at that point as well.

I feel very lucky. I work at small company so odds are good I know most of the people impacted. Making it through is hard too. Survivor guilt is real.

It’s hard to live with the unknown and keep moving forward like everything is normal. I was not great timing with the remodel.

I’m glad your DH found something new. I hope it’s something he enjoys.

I want something easy tonight, so I am considering making Spaghetti con Tonno, spaghetti and tuna. I have a couple of cans of Cento tuna that I bought just for a night where I felt lazy. It's my late uncle's recipe, and mine *never* comes out as good as his did.

Thought I would share my slow cooker pulled bbq chicken sandwich recipe because it’s east and yummy.

3-4 boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Italian dressing (I use good seasons because I always have a packet in the pantry)
1/4 cup brown sugar
12 ounces favorite bottled bbq sauce (I use sweet baby rays original)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Mix everything but the chicken. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and cover with sauce.

Place lid on and cook on low 4-5 hours depending on size of the chicken.

Remove chicken and shred. Put meat back in slow cooker with juices. Stir.

Serve on a roll with provolone and coleslaw

I use slow cooker liners for easy clean up.

Jimmy John's sandwiches, pasta salad & a red velvet cookie to share. After just trying the tuna sandwich, I hope the pasta salad & cookie are better.

Marinated a pork tenderloin in VeryVeryTeriyaki and put it in to roast. Made jasmine rice and stir fried a bag of mixed asian veggies. While the tenderloin was in the oven I made a sauce (from scratch) based on sweet-n-sour, but not as tart and cloying, sort of a cross between that and a savory black bean/hoisin with pineapple, green pepper, and cherries (nod to s-n-s). The sauce was great, just fruity enough on the pork. Of course, as @NYCgrrl says, the issue will be remembering how I made it if we ever want it again!

Quoting myself to say we tried the rest. I wouldn't recommend any of it.
